On lap 14 Brad Keselowski was trying to force his way into the lead passing Danica Patrick but it resulted in him spinning. His radiator line got cut and it cost him several laps on pit road.
During Keselowski’s spin Jamie McMurray ran down into the grass to avoid contact. The damage McMurray got from this incident dropped him down a lap.
